Monday, Canada Day, was a beautiful day for a photo wheel around False Creek in Vancouver.

These photo wheels are giving us a way to get out together to enjoy and to appreciate our local surroundings, on a budget we can afford. Now that is a lifestyle!

Here are the highlights. Be sure to click on each image to enlarge.

For some unexplainable reason, I found the â€œNow Sellingâ€ sign on the incomplete building amusing. I am always amazed when condo buildings sell out before they are built. How do you know, for sure, what youâ€™re buying for several hundred of thousands of dollars?

One of Vancouverâ€™s icons: the â€œgolf ballâ€, aka as Science World:

Wandering along the walkway, beautiful music was drifting from somewhere. We discovered the â€œpiano manâ€ playing at a â€œcivic studioâ€, which invites anyone to sit down and tickle the ivories for a while. What a cool initiative!

A little further along, a group of costumed men appeared and started dancing. They were cycling around False Creek and dancing at random locations. This one happened to be next to the pub. Mere coincidence, I think not. As this was now the hottest time of the dayâ€¦.and, man, it was hot!â€¦Darrell and I also stopped at a cafeâ€¦for a leisurely iced mocha.

Even though Darrell and I live in the city, mainly for the physical accessibility, our life is not void of the green of nature, which is all around us, if we take the time to look. I am intrigued by the layers in the following landscapes:the greenness, the water and boats, the cityscape and the mountains in the background. Beautiful!

â€œâ€¦God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for theeâ€¦"
